Day 1: Sage Hills (Wenatchee)

Day one! After meeting up in Wenatchee we will drive about 10 minutes to the trailhead for Sage Hills, a perfect trail system to get this party train rolling. We will soak up a sweeping view of the Columbia river, a view that we will have for practically the entire ride at Sage Hills. After a fun combination of descents back to the car, we’ll have lunch and drive up to the Methow Valley, where we’ll spend the rest of our trip!

Day 2: Buck Mountain

In the morning of day two we’ll head up to the majestic Buck Mountain. This ride is all about serene flow. We’ll climb 2200’ on a mellow grade over 7 miles zig-zagging through ponderosa groves and wildflower and sage meadows. Breathtaking views of the valley abound, and the descent could be aptly described as “hero”.

After lunch, some leisure time, and maybe even a swim in the lake, there will be an optional hike for anyone who wants, or the option of another ride.

Day 3: Chickadee + Climbing

After a hearty breakfast, we’ll head up to the Chickadee Trailhead, a renowned singletrack trail system with a wide variety of trail types and skill levels. This morning we’ll gain motorized advantage by shuttling about 1000’ up to start our ride, saving the legs a little for the second half of the trip. The shuttle will also help us to keep the ride short for the second part of the day… rock climbing! Mazama, Washington has a few fun crags which the group will be guided up by a local guiding company.

By evening we’ll be back at the hotel for a little R&R and dinner!

Day 4: Twisp River Trail

By day four we will have earned a leisurely morning, and after packing up “camp”, we’ll hop in the van and drive down to the “Twisp River Trail”, where we’ll have our final ride of the trip. This trail is a fun out-and-back that follows the Twisp River, with views of the Washington Pass mountains from down in the valley. As an out-and-back route, we can turn around at any point based on group energy levels. However, our aim will be to ride 16-20 miles, and spend out last day soaking up the serenity of the remote valley!

The trip will conclude with a scenic drive back to Wenatchee, marking the end of an unforgettable tour through Washington's captivating wilderness.
